The purpose of this privacy notice is to provide information on how BioInvent International AB (“BioInvent” or “we”) process your personal data.

We respect your privacy and duly protect the personal data we process about you. All processing of personal data is carried out in accordance with the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (the “GDPR”). The following describes how we collect, process and share your personal data in contacts with us via our website, communication, visits or other types of interactions.

PERSONAL DATA THAT MAY BE PROCESSED AND FOR WHAT PURPOSES

Communication, visits and other interactions

Much of our communication takes place by telephone and email, which essentially always entails the processing of personal data. Emailing or calling us generally means that personal data that can be linked to individuals are provided.

We collect the personal data provided to us in connection with our engagements and contacts with e.g. business partners, consultants, suppliers, shareholders, employees and authorities. We primarily collect personal data directly from the individuals concerned. However we sometimes receive information about individuals involved without the information being provided directly from them. We may also supplement the personal data provided by obtaining information from private and public records and sources.

We process personal data provided or obtained in connection with engagements with e.g. business partners, consultants, suppliers, employees, shareholders and authorities for the purpose of fulfilling our obligations in relation to such parties, provide marketing and conduct business with them. We also process personal data for the purpose of managing and administrating our relationships with suppliers and other external parties (e.g. by bookkeeping), as well as visits to our offices and plants.

In connection with communication, visits and other interactions we may process information such as name, contact information (e-mail address, phone number, address), work position, name of employer, details regarding visits (such as arrival time and who you were visiting) and other types of personal information which you disclose when you are in contact with us.
